President Donald Trump has fired a blistering warning shot at the mainstream media, declaring CNN, MSNBC (or, as he calls them, MSDNC), and other leftist outlets as “corrupt” and “illegal” for their blatant propaganda designed to manipulate public perception and, even worse, sway judicial rulings.
For years, the mainstream media has colluded with the radical left to paint a distorted reality where Trump is the villain and their corrupt Democrat allies are the heroes. Viewers who rely on cable news across the globe are being fed this manipulated reality, and the consequences are dangerous.
Speaking in a rare address at the Department of Justice, Trump did not hold back, laying out the case against the so-called “news” networks that operate more like the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party than actual journalism.
“I believe that CNN and MSDNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they’re really corrupt, and they’re illegal. What they do is—it’s legal,” Trump said, leaving no room for interpretation.
“It makes no difference how big a victory I had. I can have the biggest victory in history. It makes no difference what a failure the other side has—these people are going to go after me…
He went further, declaring that the media’s deliberate distortion of the truth is swaying judicial rulings, making fair trials impossible in America.
“These networks and these newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative, and it has to stop. It has to be illegal.
“It’s influencing judges, and it’s really changing the law. And it just cannot be legal. I don’t believe it’s legal. And they do it in total coordination with each other,” Trump said.
